The mullet must go!

It's sad when you're only 1 and you already have a white trash mullet!
And you try to get a rockin' fauxhawk style, and it sticks up about 5 inches

So Hudson was very happy to know that his mom could give him his 1st haircut in his very own kitchen
He wiggled and squiggled, but never did cry
And when it was all over, he was the cutest 1 yr old in the whole world!

Busy week!

I have so much to write about from the past week, so this post is just a shmorgasboard of stuff that we've been up to. On February 8, Caden got to perform at the Tabernacle on Temple Square with an LDS youth choir for a program called Interfaith Musical Tribute to the Human Spirit. We saw performances from Muslims, Jews, Native Americans, Hindu, Catholics, Baptists, Greeks, Scottish Pipe Band (which were so amazing and intense to hear) and many other faiths and Nationalities. It was so interesting to see their traditional songs, dances, and outfits. They didn't want camaras in there, so we followed the rules. To see an article about it with some pictures, click here.
Chris and I took Boston and Hudson to the Discovery Museum on Tuesday for some fun. It's one of our favorite places as you can see.

On Thursday, Chris and I GOT TO GO ON A DATE WITHOUT KIDS! Aunt Emily offered her babysitting services and also gave us tickets to see a play at the Hale Center Theatre. We saw "Cash on Demand" which was a very funny comedy. Aunt Emily not only survived, but she had Caden in bed on time, Hudson asleep and Boston happily occupied! Thanks a ton!

On Friday, while Chris was working in the woodshop, Caden built a tree swing all by himself. He asked Chris to cut a rope, then climbed in the tree, looped in over a branch, climbed down, and tied each end to a stick he found in the woodpile. Pretty clever!

On Saturday, we went to watch Caden play Basketball (and Daddy coach). The boys are so fun to watch and Caden made a basket! He is so good at defense and dribbling too.

Worn out

This is what happens when you play so hard with all of your toys and you're only 7 1/2 months old.

I wish mine tasted that good!

Just imagine being able to get that much satisfaction from your thumb. Seriously! A few moments of the thumb solves all the major crisis that may be going on in your life. And it makes you cuter. Only if you're little though. There are some many little kid behaviors that I wish I could get away with. Hollering to the top of your lungs in the parking garage just to hear the echo, asking the bakery lady for a free cookie and actually getting it, throwing a fit in the middle of wal-mart because you can't get that thing you just have to have, dancing in your underwear at any given time of day, going to sleep whenever and wherever you want, and my list goes on. Why didn't I fully appreciate these things when I was younger? What child-like things would you love to do if they were socially acceptable?

Buddies

Todd, Lindsay, and Josh came down yesterday so I could do Rapunzel's...oops I mean Lindsay's hair. Hudson thought Josh was pretty funny and I think Josh may have been slightly traumatized by the whole situation. First, this lady that sounded like his mom, but had shiny foil all over her head was holding him, and then a slobbering chubby kid was trying his best to grab a handful of what little hair he has! But he's a survivor. A real trooper. A man's man. You get the picture. Oh yeah, and aren't they adorable!

You can't help it...

You're smiling aren't you?!

Halloween

Hudson was the cutest little cow ans Caden was an awesome ninja turtle! Boston is anti-camera right now so we will try to get a Bob-the-Builder shot another day! We went to Caden's school in the morning to see the Halloween parade, then we trick or treated/trunk or treated in the neighborhood for about an hour. Then we went to Uncle Kevin and Aunt Holly's for a party. They had quite a big crowd, and Dallon, his buddies and Caden put on a pretty scarey spook alley in the back yard. Chris and I dressed up in some last minute, throw together costumes and I think we turned out pretty cute. I was the tooth fairy, and Chris went as none other than his very own dad-Monte!

4th of July

Happy 4th from our "little firecracker"
